COMBINATION COOKING-VESSEL.

SPEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 515,457, dated February27, 1894.

Applie ation filed May 9, 1893.

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JENS ZINN, residing at Copenhagen, in the Kingdom ofDenmark, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inCombination Cooking-Vessels, of which the following is a specification.

Figure 1, shows in section the cooking vessel with appurtenances in acollapsed condition. Fig. 2, shows it in a drawn out condiiion standingon a tin box into which the apparatus may be folded as in Fig. 1, butwhich when it is drawn out and used may be applied in a reversedposition as a base.

The cooking vessel is, as shown in Fig. 2, formed by five conical ringsa, b, c, d, and e, the diameter of which is such, that one ring may bepushed around the other by which all five rings may be folded into theposition as shown in Fig. 1. The undermost ring c, has a bottom e andthe uppermost has a loose lid U as also a ring handle P, which in avertical position reaches the bottom, in which position it is held bymeans of a stop. In the exterior tin box F there is a receiver G,indicated in Fig. 2, by dotted lines, which is intended to hold alcoholor spirits, when the apparatus is being used. 7

R is the lid of the tin box fastened by means of the hinge joint p. k

In Fig. 1 where the tin box is reversed,the receiver is seen at the top,and the box F inclosing the cooking vessel in which position theapparatus may be used as a shield especially as protection for thebreast or lower part of the body. In the lid of the box there Serial No.473.621. (Nomcdeh) is a hole for the flame. When the apparatus is usedas a shield the loose coverU is placed inside this hole, in which alsothe needfnl straps are put for fixing the device in place. In theopposite side of the box there is room for a shield plate H which is acompound of an alloy of aluminium with ten per cent. titanium or ofHarveys nickel steel or some other metal, which ofiers the greatestpossible resistance to musket balls.

In Fig. 1, is shown placed together in the tin box F the cover U, afrying pan-m, with handle 12., two plates 9, a shield plate H adapted tobe used as spade or hoe with its handle h, a spirit receiver G, a loosefoot or stand q, all covered by the lid E fastened to the box by thehinge joint 13.

The box F is perforated as in Fig. 2, to admit air for combustion.

I claim- A combination cooking vessel and container consisting of thebox F adapted to receive numerous articles, said box having a coverprovided with a receptacle adapted to contain a combustible materialwhen the box is inverted, said box being provided with an openingopposite said receptacle and peripheral openings, substantially asdescribed.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twowitnesses.
